FX's Atlanta - Trailer Review


I'm not sure what it is about this trailer for FX's upcoming series, Atlanta, but I can't stop watching it. Maybe it's the entrancing jerkiness of the protagonists movements, apparently reverse footage of the three of them walking... backwards. Maybe it's the incredibly funky beat (courtesy of Tame Impala's 2015 banger New Person, Same Old Mistakes). Maybe it's the way to letters ATLANTA seem to melt onto the screen at the end of the clip. Maybe it's the graffiti riddled, wide open city streets our heroes find themselves in, and the inevitable questions all of this inspires: What is happening here? Where are these guys going? Why are they going in a different direction from everyone else? Whatever the answers, I can't wait to find out.
